Now I know that the ugly mainsail
will be haunting me (and you) for at least six months I have decided to give it a name
and who was Flat Eric?
‘Flat Eric’ has some good anagrams….. clear fit….rice flat…air cleft…lie craft….I cart elf…lice raft…etc etc….but my favourite is ace flirt !! Good luck on your voyage, we will all be watching the weather and wishing you well. P.
If the mainsail is Flat Eric, then your beloved jib is “Red Genny”.
Thinking of your Red Genny and Flat Eric, and now I’ve just sold my Pandora 22 “My Precious II”, as I was afraid of a chronic or even terminal case of Poly Nav if I had kept her as well as my Trapper, Flying Fifteen, Wayfarer, Miracle and Topper, I’m thinking of buying a new bright red mainsail for “Harlequin”, my twin keeled Trapper 300, with a significant part of the sale’s proceeds.
Would you recommend Jeckells? I’ve had new sails from Crusader in 2007 for My Precious and a beautiful yellow, blue and red cruising chute for Harlequin last year and been very pleased with them.
Enjoy your voyage to Scotland.

I have used Jeckells for a new sail, and I was very pleased with the service and result.

Oooooeer, its all gone quiet in here, or has it? I think I can hear Flat Eric flapping uselessly in the slight breeze and ……………….. is that Dylan muttering and swearing under his breath? Hahahaha

Now if we just had a proper-name for the iron sail beneath the floor. The ‘Slug’ had her Beast….
